Columbus School & College provides education over two sites for children with Severe Learning Difficulties and Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties aged 3-19 years. 

We are located in Chelmsford, Essex. 

Columbus is proud to be part of the Academies Enterprise Trust (AET), one of the largest multi-academy trusts in England. Our dynamic and bespoke curriculum is centred around our core aims, driven by the Trust’s Core Values:

• Be Unusually Brave

• Push The Limits

• Be Big Hearted

• Discover What’s Possible

Our staff work as part of a multi-agency team to ensure that each individual pupil is given every opportunity to flourish, make meaningful progress and engage with the highest quality of education possible in a safe, supportive and caring learning environment. Working together with parents and local partners, we are dedicated to providing opportunities and experiences which equip all pupils with the skills, character strengths and knowledge to actively participate and thrive in the wider community, and to enable them to better their life chances. 

Our pupils are happy, positive and engaged young people who are supported to explore the world around them and pursue their interests, dreams and ambitions. Welcome to our website!
